- MOURNING BLUES -
A contemplative, improvisational piece, Mourning Blues slowly grooves its way through the repetitive lyrical content, driving home the message of a man feeling down. The guest appearances of drummer Stephen Montgomery and pianist Cody Campbell perfectly compliment the song, adding a texture that is has feet in both blues and jazz. The track appears on the Wheelhouse Rousters' 2023 release, The Adventure Never Ends.
Lyrics
I’ve got the blues
I’ve got the blues
I’ve got those mourning blues
Rocks in my pockets
Holes in my shoes
I’ve got those mourning blues
I’ve got the blues
I’ve got the blues
I’ve got those mourning blues
Rocks in my pockets
Holes in my shoes
I’ve got those mourning blues
I don’t wanna see the sun shinin down
I don’t want to see it’s face
I want the whole world
The whole human race
Not to feel it’s healing rays
I’ve got the blues
I’ve got the blues
I’ve got those mourning blues
Rocks in my pockets
Holes in my shoes
I’ve got those mourning blues
In the golden blaze the heart in it’s cage
I’ve got those morning blues
